The attackers were outnumbered, and though they grabbed the initial advantage and fiercely defended their base, forcing the defenders to incur heavy losses with each counter-assault, the defenders resolve was not broken and they achieved a much larger number of mission objectives in the end. the attackers also suffered heavy attrition

The individual statistics and map modules have been updated.

next up: Defense - ISS

Fleet: Defence - ISS

Order: Transit

Target: Mars

outcome: successful

Defence Fleet utilised fluxfield 7 and by random draw ended up in Supernova 3, which is not a valid end of turn location, so they decided to utilise fluxfield 2 to transit to the Mars region. Fluxfield 2 has an exit into black hole 2, into which a number of Defence fleet's vessels were lost, reducing their fleet rating by 25%.

Mars is Defended by a Galcom station, so a System supremacy mission is next, beginning with Defence Fleet defending a space supremacy mission in a hostile region against a patrol militia.

The AWA match will be a defensive patrol force playing as Galcom attacking Defence - ISS who will be playing as Insurgents. Defense -ISS will be launching from Tapestran but must defend the Procon region. The patrol force can use any region other than Procon as their launch base, and all engagements must begin in the Procon region (i.e. there shall be no engaging enemy craft before entering the Procon region)

The Gammulan forces managed to destroy a larger number of defensive patrol vessels, though they lost a command vessel in the process, and have temporarily taken command of Starpath station in Mars. Troop ships have been landed on the surface and a temporary bridgehead formed, which Galcom ground troops are now closing in on. A ground campaign now ensues to decide the fate of Mars.
